and look from out the shadow of a quiet
hour far back into that fiowery, foolish
country, rests one like pleasant dream.
When 1 let my heart go over it again
scarcely visage turns to meet me of more
alluring warmth than the oily ebon Inca
ments of Uncle Job.
Captain Wheaton, whose fat acres covered
wide space of highland and rolled down
into SINNERS valley, had brought the hale
old African with him from the war. The
Wheaton place lay with it's long and un.
dulating side against my mothers farm,
and with the dusk of the first evening after
their coming we heard the old man mile
away at Wheaton's barns sending up an
African MARBLE. Mellow and plantive, like
the soft winding of far away horn, but
strange and half uncanny to US Northern
children, it melted across the fields through
the evening stiffness. That night l had a
dream, remember, with which that mellow
singing somehow mingled, and the next
morning being sent to the farther side of
the ''big field' with rusty axe to "sprout"
along the division fence, l saw, with some
upon the top rail of that vine-wound barrier
smiling down upon me.
"Mawnin', honey" he said in a tone that
was wonderfully engaging, "mighty peart
lam in desc pawtsn'
After that we were always friends, and
the bluebirds and the crickets listened with
me to many song and story through that
dreamy summer as Uncle Job sat upon the
GROWING rail with his thin shanks hanging
down among the blossoms.

TAKING A MUD BATH.
A Gentleman Describes the Sensations He
Felt While Enduring 1t.

Felt While Enduring 1t.
A well-known gentleman who lives
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel came into
the corridor from the street recently,
looking as if he had been scourged for
a week. He sat down, took a long
breath, and lighting long cigar be-
gan to puff vigorously. A reporter
asked him if he was ill. He replied:
Ill? No, have just taken dirt
bath. Don't know what dirt bath is?
Then I'll tell you. l concluded that
my system had run down and that
needed something to start my blood to
circulating rapidly, IN fact general
vitalizer. was directed to take mud
baths. These baths are very expen-
sive. The attendant stood me up and
began to cover me with what is known
as Fuller's earth. | was encased in
this substance with only my head stick
ing out. Then was placedi in trough,
a tube was inserted into the mud and
an electric current turned on. The
sensation was most unique and al
most indescribable. The earth around
my body soon became charged with
electricity and snapped and coquetted
with my skin in amost tantalizing way.
At times there would seem to be race
of small tacks down my back, and then
the sensation of a brush gently passing
over me. My flesh simply acted as
conductor and enjoyed all the little
pranks that series of currents from
powerful electric battery can produce
After an hour | was stripped of the
mud and 'massaged' for an hour by two
stalwart attendants. A doucbe of water
was then administered and | went
home. But the bath can not be finished
in one day. l went back the next morn
ing and was given cold water bath
and rubbed again very thoroughly.
Then my feet were placed in water
charged with electricity. The attend
ants then seized several large sponges,
dipped them in the water and began to
rub me. 1t was an electric bath, and
the sponges fairly made me howl with
the shocks | received. The next day 1
went back and finished the bath. l was
placed in a vat of large-grained salt
and rolled about until my flesh glowed
with irritating excitement. A rub
down and water bath then finished my
mud bath. 1t takes only three days. I
wanted to perspire, and succeeded.
Sometimes dream am closed up in
an armor of mud and the perspiration.
comes from me in copious streams. If
a man has three solid days to spare,
think nothing is more pleasant all
around than to take first-class mud
bath. IN Y Nail and ErDYess.

COMPLICATED CASE.
Why Dakota Lawyer Failed in Making
Difficult Collection.

A Dakota attorney who advertises to
make difficult collections, while re-
Gently in the East, was speaking with
man for whom he had tried to make
a collection and failed.
you advertise that you make diff
cult collections specially, don't you?'
asked the Eastern man.
Eyes, SIR" replied the Dakota attor-
ney.
well, why didn't you get that Riley
matter settled up that we sent you?"
THAT was q peculiar case. l don't
know whether l can get that money or
mot. You see took my shotgun-the
instrument l use in making collections
and drove out to see Riley. tied
my horse and was walking towards the
house with both hammers of the gun
up and my fingers on the triggers, in
tending to make the collection as soon
as | saw him, when suddenly, without
any warning whatever, he opened fire
on me from knot-hole in the side of
the house. l returned the shots and
held my own for awhile, but as he was
concealed and stood out in plain sight
the consequence was that l finally went
down the road with my legs full of
shoy and Riley's bulldog hanging onto
my coat-tail. He kept my horse and
buggy and haven't seen them since.
1t is the first time my shotgun has
failed in making a difficult collec-
ton. 1t is very peculiar case and ]
hardly know how to proceed. l intend
to ask the Judge of our district when /
get back and see what he thinks about
It. He is an old resident of the Terri
tory and may be able to give me a
pointer or lend me some improved
| weapon. "-Ddkotd Bell.
